The sense of opportunity
During the electoral campaign, there were questions about the date chosen for these elections, given that there is a long weekend and this generates fear of low voter participation.
In 2020, the vote was taken in full isolation due to the pandemic. In fact, the date was moved twice, until it was set for November 29. That day, in which Juan Manuel Llamosas (photo) achieved his re-election, it is estimated that half of the voters went to vote.

Party, Intransigent Party, Podemos, Partido del Campo Popular, Federal Front of Solidarity Action and Party Federal Commitment.
History. Both Llamosas and De Rivas are children of two historic Peronist leaders. Esteban “Chachi” Llamosas, first candidate for mayor of Peronism in the rebirth of democracy. He was then defeated by Miguel Ángel “Chicharra” Abella.
De Rivas is the son of Juan Manuel de Rivas, with a long career in Peronism and an expert in municipal law issues.
Adriana Nazario

A historic municipal headquarters
The Municipality of Río Cuarto operates in the Mojica Palace, located in Pasaje de la Concepción, surrounded by General Paz, Hipólito Irigoyen, Belgrano and 25 de Mayo streets, in the heart of the city, one block from Plaza General Roca .
On September 16, 1930, the Deliberative Council ordered the construction of a new municipal headquarters, three economic markets, the municipal slaughterhouse, public assistance, among other works that changed the configuration of the city.
The Palace of Mójica is in a neoclassical style, it responds to an idea by the architect Alejandro Bustillo (author of the Banco de la Nación Argentina and the Rambla de Mar del Plata), concretized in the plans by the architect Carlos Zambruno and the engineer Santo Cocco.
It was officially inaugurated on May 25, 1932, under the management of Vicente Mójica.
